Arianna $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a patient and reliable caregiver based in Brooklyn. I genuinely love being around kids and helping them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their parents are away. I have experience working with children through previous jobs and babysitting, so I’m comfortable with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age kids. I’m very attentive and I love doing fun activities with them. I also offer pet care, and I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’ve had a dog, many cats, a bird, and a guinea pig, so I’m comfortable with different types of pets and their routines. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, and cleanup, and I’m also comfortable with pets that shed and friendly larger dogs.

Abigail $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello. My name is Abigail (abby) and I am a pre- school teacher working primarily with 3 year-olds. I enjoy my job and getting to educate while having fun with my beautiful students. Prior to this I have worked in day care centers so I have 2 years worth of experience assisting and providing essential care for children. Helping children with basic skill needs of any age is what I do best because I love seeing the transition/transformation as they grow up into little toddlers and exploring different opportunities. I am currently in school (full- time) online pursuing my Master’s degree in teaching special education and elementary. My goal is to ensure and provide children/students the best opportunity through consistency and engagement. Thank you.

Elma $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly qualified candidate for babysitting positions, currently working as a behavioral technician paraprofessional and bringing extensive experience working with children since 2017 in school settings, including supporting children with special needs. From 2014 to 2017 I worked as a babysitter in a daycare where I was responsible for supervising and caring for approximately 15 children on my own, ensuring a safe and engaging environment at all times. My background includes implementing behavior strategies, promoting social-emotional growth, and maintaining open and professional communication with parents and caregivers. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a mother of four, which has further developed my patience, reliability, and strong understanding of children’s needs. My combined experience and dedication to child development make me a dependable and trustworthy babysitter for any family.

Tamiyah $21 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Tamiyah, I am a loving, patient, and dependable childcare provider with over 5+ years of professional experience working with children of various ages. I previously worked as an Afterschool Teacher at Apex Learning Center, where I supported elementary-aged students with homework assistance, structured activities, classroom management, and social-emotional development. In this role, I learned how to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel encouraged, supported, and confident. In addition to my experience with school-aged children, I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle guidance during early developmental stages. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, learning, and emotional growth while always prioritizing safety. I also worked as a caregiver at Mount Vernon Towers, where I assisted senior residents with daily living activities and companionship. This experience strengthened my nurturing nature, attentiveness, and ability to provide personalized care with empathy and respect. Working with seniors has enhanced my patience and my ability to remain calm and supportive in all situations. I am CPR and First Aid certified, giving families peace of mind that their children are in safe and capable hands. I am experienced in multitasking, maintaining routines, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and caring for pets as well. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at once and adapting to each family’s unique needs and parenting style. Families describe me as gentle, trustworthy, responsible, and attentive. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with the children and families I work with. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can thrive, feel secure, and have fun. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, compassionate care.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
